First of all, check the domain SID on the new server. It should match the domain SID which was used on the old server. Also make sure, that permissions are correctly set on profile directories.

To display the domain SID, type the following on the PDC:

net getlocalsid
The sid's are properly set:
Old Server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# net getlocalsid
SID for domain FILESERVER is: S-1-5-21-900971778-2820256422-4179658317
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# net getlocalsid ajserver.com
SID for domain ajserver.com is: S-1-5-21-900971778-2820256422-4179658317

New Server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# net getlocalsid
SID for domain FILESERVER is: S-1-5-21-900971778-2820256422-4179658317
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# net getlocalsid ajserver.com
SID for domain ajserver.com is: S-1-5-21-900971778-2820256422-4179658317


To set the domain SID use "net setlocalsid <SID>"

Permissions of profile directories should be set like this:

- User ownership: <the usename which the profiles belongs to>
- Group ownership: the primary group of the user
- Permission for the profile directory: 1777
- Permission for the profile directory of a user: 0700 or 1700 (not sure about it)
Permissions checkout (they are identical to the old server, I used rsync -Pa --numeric-ids to transfer the data, the made sure to copy over /etc/passed section with users so they were identical)

The profile appears to be getting loaded correctly as items in My Docs and Desktop etc, are all loaded correctly, it appears to be only windows settings that are not getting properly loaded.

I figure it has to be something simple that is causing the Windows settings not to get loaded properly.

I hope, I could help you.

    All,
    I am in the process of moving a PDC to a new server, the config,
    *.tdb files, linux user account files (/etc/passwd,shadow,group)
    and /home have all been moved successfully, shares and
    authentication is working great.

    Issue:
    When I login and the system loads my roaming profile all my
    "recent Programs" list are gone, I cannot add more programs to
    this list in the start menu (no error just won't show) and it
    appears other windows settings are not getting properly loaded
    either (i.e. I have a gray start bar instead of my normal
    green/blue bar)

    Background on the move:
    Old Server:
    Ubuntu 6.06(i386) running Samba 3.0.22

    New Server:
    Centos 5.2(i386) running Samba 3.0.28

    Clients:
    All Windows XP Pro previously part of the Domain

    Any one have any advice for solving this issue?

    Aaron
